I am encountering the following problems. I would very much appreciate your help on these problems. I have enclosed the HJT log below. I run both Windows 98 SE & Windows XP Pro in my system and use Norton Antivirus 2002. Thanks.
1) Numerous popups opening up because of
540.filost.com (After installating & cleaning up the system with tools advised by this forum, I am not getting the popups, but could you please check if remnants of it are still out there in the system).
2) The internet
connection settings in the connections folder (for the broadband connection I use) is automatically changing to wrong values & on double-clicking it wasn't showing the user name/password dialog box. Even if I manually change the properties of the connection, it reverts back to the wrong values. Sometimes I could see a telephone no. in the user name section. I suspect if it was trying to dial an international phone no. & thankfully, since mine was a broadband connection, it is not able to dial in any phone no.
3) System has
literally crawled down in its speed recently (especially after the 540.filost.com problem cropped up). As advised in these forums, I installated Spybot, Adaware etc - Since some these tools monitor activity to filter trojans, adware pgms etc, could it be these ones contribution to the slow speed or could it be some viruses.
